NORTHERN MICHIGAN
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Heartfelt photography rooted in connection and presence.
TRAVERSE CITY FILM & DIGITAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Let’s tell your story with art & intention.
Your photographs are more than memories; they are a reflection of the love and presence that define your celebration. Long after your wedding ends, your photographs have the power to transport you back to the beauty and meaning of your wedding day.
My approach to photography is simple: capture not just how your wedding looks, but how it feels. I am deeply committed to creating honest images in an artful, heartfelt way. My job is to support your ability to be in the moment, all while preserving the essence of your day in documentary photographs you’ll cherish forever. Together, we’ll create heirlooms for you to pass down to the next generation. Your wedding gallery will be a collection of images that transport you back to real moments, showcasing you and all the people you love as you really are.
Remember how it feels.
“My wife and I would recommend Mae to any and all couples looking for THE photographer to capture their special day. First and foremost, her pictures were exceptional - she captured candid moments between family and friends that brought to life the love and authenticity of the moment. The other (and just as important factor in our eyes) was her kind, calm, and positive demeanor throughout the day. Nerves, stress, and anxiety can come in waves on the wedding day, and Mae provided a warm and calming presence throughout. My wife and I get a bit camera shy when all the attention is on us, but Mae had a natural way of making us feel comfortable, and truly brought the best out of us. Both her organized and candid pictures of us, our family, and friends are moments we will cherish for a lifetime.”

HI, I’M MAE,
A NORTHERN MICHIGAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER.
Since 2009, I’ve had the honor of photographing love stories across Northern Michigan, the Midwest, and beyond. My home base near Traverse City in Leelanau County—a land of rolling hills, vineyards, and stunning shoreline—carries a certain magic to it, and I love telling the stories of folks who choose to get married here.
I aim to show up as a grounding presence on your wedding day, and believe that the best photographs happen when you are invited to be yourself. There is no pretense or performance required, but rather, just the hope that you will show up fully as yourself and embrace all the joy and beauty you’ve planned for your wedding day.
My mission is to preserve each moment of your day with care and artistry, delivering photographs you will cherish for a lifetime. I can’t wait to hear more about your plans for your northern Michigan wedding, or anywhere else you’d like to take me!
